first show dog. I showed beautifully and Mom said that Iím the best show dog she has. I know how to stack and when, how to walk and when, I still have it at 11 Ĺ years
old. Iím good! I even had the crowd clapping for me and cheering. I got Best Veteran Breed and got to
go to the Best in Show Veterans Spectacular. The judges couldnít believe that I
am 11 Ĺ years old. They said I act like a puppy. Thatís because I enjoy showing
with my Mom as a matter of fact I LOVE IT! I didnít win BIS but I had so much
fun trying. It was a special day for me and Mom!

it.

I
had so much fun in the ring this weekend! I just love to show! Mom braided my topknot
and on Saturday the judge just loved it. She told Mom that she can see my eyes

breed and took out that prissy Missi! She pouted because I beat her. On Sunday,
well I'll just say that I pouted.

Grand Champion yoR. I finished my Champion title with the exact 15 points and I
finished my Grand Champion title with the exact 25 points. I donít waste any
time. I get in the ring and take care of business. I tell Mom, letís hurry up

Mount Ogden Kennel
Club, Logan, UT, Saturday/Sunday May 22-23, 2010

It
has rained every day since we left home for our show road trip but we have had
fun. Iíve seen so many new states and more to come before we get home. I told
mom that I would bring some sunshine to her day and guess what I did! Both days
for a brief 5 minutes, it stopped raining just as I was going into the ring. I
took back to back Best of Breed both days for 5 point majors each towards my
Grand Champion title. I even took out Ch. Missi one day and Ch. Bee the other
day. Iím well on my way to my new title and Mom loved the sunshine!

Scott County
Kennel Club, Rock Island, IL, Saturday May 15, 2010

Well we are working on a new title now for me, Grand Champion. I started
off on this endeavor right; I got Select Dog today for 1 point towards my
title. I have a long way to go but I know that I will be a Grand Champion soon!

I
was afraid that Mom would not let me show today after yesterdays upset so I promised
Mom that I would show good for her. Guess what, I took Breed! I got even with
Bee! I got to go to the big ring and showed so well. Well enough for Group 4
placement! Yippeeee! Not bad for just a dusting!

Mom and I thought that I needed to be taken off the shelf and dusted off
for Nationals next week so I got to show today. I did take out a top rated
special for Best of Opposite but guess who took me out for Breed? That prissy Bee!
I was so upset with her!

Falls, SD, Sunday
October 26, 2008

Well
I was acting up just before I went into the ring and accidently bit Momís hand.
She told me that she knew it was an accident but it hurt! She handed me to Dad.
Dad and I pulled it off again; I got Best of Opposite Sex over a top raking
dog! WOW!!

Mattoon Kennel Club, Springfield, IL,
Friday October 17, 2008

Today
was crazy with the handler thing and all but Iím not like the girls Iím a
professional show dog! I went into the ring being rushed and not getting my
usual pregame warm-up and pulled it off. A Man has to hold his cool you know!
Mr. Bivin still likes me. He gave me Best of Opposite Sex and told Mom that she
has a really nice boy. Thank you Mr. Bivin!

Havanese Club of
America National Specialty, Richmond, VA, August 29-30, 2008

Best of Breed:Wow
I never saw so many Havs in one place before. All the specials went into the
very large ring for the grand opening of the Best of Breed competition. It was
a huge ring, 3 times larger than a normal ring size. The line up rapped all the
way around the ring 1 Ĺ times! What a sight to see!All colors, shapes, sizes, it was amazing! I
didnít win but it was so cool to be a part of such an event.

Parade of Champions:I
got recognized in the Parade of Champions for all the hard work I did this
last year while obtaining my Champion Title. I got featured in the ring and my
resume read then I was presented with a really nice rosette that had my name
printed on it. It was really cool to have all my hard work reconized!

Burlington Kennel Club, West Burlington, IA,

2008

Albert Lea
has been good to me! Last year at this show I got my first major, now today, as
a Champion I got my first Best of Breed! Wow! I got to go to group and compete
with the big boys. It was so much fun. Mom was a little nervous though but I
was relaxed and calm. I perform beautifully and when it was over, Mom patted me
and told me I did a wonderful job, gave a kiss, and we walked out with the rest
of them, without a ribbon. Thatís ok though, we got there and it was a big show
for Havs, 21 of them! I am the Top Havanese Dog today!!! Yeppers!

Here are some pictures of me in the Group Ring!

Duluth Kennel Club, Duluth, Minnesota,
Sunday July 13, 2008

I
finally got to show again after being on Family Medical Leave with the Puppy
Kidz. I just love to show! Dad showed me Friday and Saturday and that didnít go
to well because I wanted my Mom to show me so Sunday I got my way. I was so
happy that Mom was showing me that I perform perfectly for her. The Judge really
liked me. He told Mom that she has a really good Dog! I thought he was going to
give me Breed over a top 10 girl but he didnít.Oh well I got Best of Opposite Sex, but it was so much fun to see Mom
smile and be so happy, CH yoR.

I was bound and determined to give Mom a winning
ribbon for Motherís Day. Guess what, I did it! I got BOS today. I told Dad that
I wanted him to show me so we could surprise Mom with her present so Dad and I
went into the ring and brought out a ribbon for Mom. She was so happy and proud
of Dad and me. She told us that Dad has a new project now since he did such a
good job showing me. We told Mom that we would think about it. I still like
showing with my Mom but I also like my Dad.Maybe they will have to take turns showing me. Iím going on Family
Medical Leave while Bee is nursing our Puppy Kidz and recovers from Maternity.
You know a Man has to support his Gal and be a part of parenting, CH yoR.

Crete, Illinois,
Sunday November 25, 2007

Oh
my, Guess What? Oh ya, I won Best of Winners! I got another 3 point major and
the points I needed to get my title! Iím a NEW CHAMPION! I performed the best
that I have ever performed. The judge was really nice and gave me hug. When Mom
told me ĎGood Boy, you got ití . I was so excited that I started jumping and
barking in the ring. Mom cried and Dad was so proud of me, he was waiting at
the ring exit to hug me. Dad told me that I'm not a puppy anymore that I'm a Champion. Mom told me now that I have a title I have to sign my
name using my title, so until next time, CH yoR.

Lake Shore Kennel Club,
Crete, Illinois, Saturday November 24, 2007

I got to go to the big city this weekend, the Windy City of Chicago. Wow was this fun. I have never seen
so many huge buildings and the traffic, Dad was a little grumpy driving. Guess
what? I got to stay in the Grand Royale! Dad got us big room and Bee and I had
so much fun running and playing together. One time Mom dropped our leads while
trying to unlock our door and we ran all the way down the long hallway chasing
each other. I would chase Bee then she would chase me. Mom and Dad took us to
Pet Store and we got some new chewies, Bacon Flavor.I really enjoyed the show today. I met some
new Havanese friends. I just love making new friends. I didnít win today but I did get Reserve
Winners Dog. Oh well, maybe Iíll win tomorrow.

Oh
my, the competition was still tuff today. I did really well though. I took 1st
place in my class and then I took Reserve Winners Dog. I beat some of the best
Havanese out there, WOW! Mom was really proud of me. My full sister, we were
born together in the same litter, took Reserve Winners Girl over some of the
best Havanese Girls. Her name is Twinkie. We are quite a handsome
Brother/Sister duo. I really wanted to win today and get my title, but it
didnít happen. Oh well, maybe next weekend.

Well
the RandR was good but I was ready for the competition again. It took me a time
in the ring to remember how to walk right and that I had to not worry about Dad,
I couldnít see him but I did smell him so I knew he was watching me. Dad you
were out of sight but not out of smell! I got first in my class in the Puppy
Sweepstakes. I got a new toy and I earned a whole $11.70. I have more income!
In the regular competition I beat some really nice dogs in my class. It was the
biggest class competition I have ever been in. I got 3rd place. My
friend Stevie got Winners Dog and earned his title. It was his birthday and his
Momís birthday, wow, what a birthday present! Congratulations Stevieís Mom and
CH Stevie!

After
yesterday I just wasnít in the mood to show. I have been showing for two months
with very little time off. Iím tired! A guy needs a rest! I didnít want to
stack or walk. I tried to do my jack rabbit hop and made Mom upset. I didnít even
get out of class and Mom told me that I deserved it. She was upset with me but,
I know that she loves me. After the show we had a discussion and I convinced
Mom that we need to just take some time off and regroup!

It
was a really strange show today. The planned judge was absent, I hope she is OK
and gets well soon. We had a last minute judge that Iím not sure who he was.
Mom and Dad didnít know about the change and that we had been moved up in time.
Mom didnít have me ready and she was still adjusting my lead when we went into
the ring. It all happened so fast that I didnít get to do my pre-show work out.
Mom and I just wasnít ready and it showed. I didnít even get out of my class.

Mom
told me I would have days like these! It was just a bad weekend! It all started
Friday morning when Dad got out of bed and handed Mom the alarm clock, while it
was still quacking I might add, and said Ďyour alarm is going offí and went straight
back to his bed.Mom was still trying to
open her eyes and it took her awhile to figure out how to turn it off. It
sounds like my quacky duck. I looked at Dad and growled and thought couldnít
you have turned it off before you woke me up! It all went down hill from there
and thatís all Iím going to say about it. I will say that I got 4 rosettes, a
tennis ball, two ceramic tiles of Hav pictures, I gave them to Mom, and blue plush puppy toy, itís my favorite now. Also, I have an income;
I earned $7.21 on Saturday and $14.43 on Sunday in the Sweepstakes.Mom told me that Iím big time now, Iím
earning my keep!

Mason City Kennel Club, Mason
City, Iowa, Sunday
October 14, 2007

I
was so tired today. I got up with Mom at 4:48 am. We had a really early show
time. I had that Judge again that tried to take em. I said NO WAY and I did a
sit. When I did my down and back I thought I saw my Dad when I got to the
corner so I stood up on my back legs to get a better view and sure enough,
thereís Dad. I said to him, help, she wants to take em! He told me to mind Mom.
I donít think the Judge was too happy with me, she didnít pick me.

Mason City Kennel Club, Mason
City, Iowa, Saturday October
13, 2007

I
really had fun today. I did just what mom told me to do and it paid off. I got
Winners Dog. Then I got to compete against the Specials for Breed. The judge
liked me, he picked me for Best of Winners which I got another 3 point major!
Iím in the double digits now and I almost have my title. My friend Daisy got
Best of Opposite Sex and a 3 point major also. She finished today and has her
title. Iím so happy for my friend Daisy, sheís really pretty.

I was about as lucky in the
ring today as Dad was last night. We got to the show site about 1:00 am, it was
along drive. Dad wanted electric for the RV so he could watch the games today.
He climbed over a 7 foot fence to get a plug; he plugged in and guess what, NO
JUICE and not talking fruit juice! The next day our neighbor showed Dad that
the gate was unlocked! He he! It was losers day, I lost, the Cubs lost, and the
Hawkeyes lost. Dad and I were not happy campers.

I was ready for the ring
today after the big win yesterday. I walked and stacked perfectly. When I got
to the table I stood there like I was supposed to. The Judge scared me when she
wanted to check my back end. I had one of those you are not going to touch me
there moments! She told me ĎI wonít take them!í I thought yep, I wonít let
you take them! I did a Ďsití. Mom was not happy with me. The Judge knew she
scared me so she gave me a big hug and told me I was a good boy. She was a
really nice lady even though she scared me and only picked me for 1st
place in my class.Mom told me that we
will work on my table manners this week.

Was I nervous today or what?
I had to show before Mr. Edd Bivin! I performed perfectly. He gave me
Winners Dog and I was looking at another 1 pointer. I came out of the ring
thinking, oh my, Dad will call me the 1 point boy wonder again. I have to take
out the girl or a special to get another point. I went back into the ring for
Breed competition and I was so nervous, I wet my pants! Good thing I was in the
corner and Mr. Bivin was busy with the specials so he didnít see me. Mom had to
clean it up. I performed so good that I beat the girl and got Best of Winners
for a 3 point major! Wow, what a win from Mr. Edd Bivin! I guess Dad canít call
me the 1 point boy wonder any more.

I
picked up another point today, yes I got Winners Dog.I competed for Breed with my friend
Maggie. I thought I was going to win but
the judge picked Maggie.I got Best of
Opposite Sex. Oh well, Maggie finished
today and Iím so happy for her, she has a title now. Dad is starting to call me
the 1 point boy wonder.I guess Iíll
have to show him.

I
looked good today!I performed just like
Mom told me too and I was a good boy and stood still on the table for the judge.I got 1st in my class
and competed for Winners.She didnít
pick me but, guess what; she picked me for the Puppy Extravaganza! Yes, I got Puppy Best of Breed!I got to go to the Puppy Toy Group
competition and I was even better.I had
a fan club and when they cheered for me, I said, oh my, they are cheering for
me.It put an extra bounce in my step! There were 12 different dogs in the competition.There was a Yorkie, a Shih Tzu, a Chinese
Crested, and bunch of other dogs; I donít even know what they were. The judge
gave me 4th place in Group!I
got another Rosette and got to take my picture in the big setting. Wow, I just
love fans.

Des Moines Kennel Club, Des Moines, Iowa,
Sunday September 9, 2007

I was not ready for the show
today. I was tired and I just wasnít ready. Dad took possession of the alarm
clock and turned it off in his sleep! When I finally woke up, Mom had to rush
to get me groomed. I didnít feel like eating breakfast so I went into the ring
on an empty tummy. The liver treats were good but they just werenít enough.
Never cross a guy when he is hungry. I performed perfect in the class judging
but when it came to Winners, there was little puppy behind me and man was he
irritating. Mom couldnít get me to stack or walk. The judge wasnít too happy
with me, she didnít pick me.

Des Moines Kennel Club, Des Moines, Iowa,
Saturday September 8, 2007

I was ready for the show
today, Mom groomed me and I was handsome. I performed really well. I guess I
could have been better because the Judge didnít pick me. I did have fun at the
show though; Grandma and Grandpa came to watch me. I always love seeing them. I
met a very nice couple, Mike and Paulina, Paulina is a very pretty lady and
Mike picked me up. They played with me and petted me. I hope I see them again
soon. I saw several Komondors and very handsome Puli. The Puli won his Group. I
just love meeting new people and seeing the different breeds. Itís a lot of
fun!

I was ready for the ring today, Mom groomed me and I looked good! I got
in the ring and the judge got me all worked up while I was on the table. I was
excited. When I started my down and back, I was fired up and started my jack
rabbit hop. Mom just stopped right in the middle of the ring.She looked at me and said Ďthat wonít get
ití! I shook it off and looked up at her and said ĎOK, Iím ready now; I got
that out of my systemí. I performed really well after that. When I competed for
Winners Dog I wanted to play with the pup behind me, he was right on my butt. I
couldnít even walk. I think he wanted to play with me too. I got Reserve.

Well
today was not a good day. First we got to the show site and Mom pushed me out
of the car. She tried to catch me but I fell in the door jam. It scared me! Then
she took me inside and put me on the grooming table and pushed me off of it.
Quite a fall! Tannerís Mom seen it but she didnít turn Mom in. Good thing Dad
was standing there because I fell on his foot to soften the blow. Then I went
into the ring and good thing I was the only Dog in my class because I had a
headache! I then had to compete for Winners Dog, and Mom wanted me to perform,
ya right, I was still working off the falls. I got Reserve. I was upset because
I wanted to win, Grandma and Grandpa was there watching me and I wanted them to
see me win. Mom said it was an accident. I still love my Mom; I guess it really
was an accident.

Tri-City Kennel Club, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, Friday
August 31, 2007

Iím
still celebrating my birthday!I won
Winners Dog again today, YEPPERS!I hope
tomorrow will be good to me too.

Tri-City Kennel Club, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa,
Thursday August 30, 2007

Today is my birthday, 9
months old, and for my present I got Winners Dog.Picked up another point!I had a fan club today, Dad was there of
course, Laura and Sharon from Momís work, and my obedience trainer Kay was
there.They were all excited for me. The
judge told Mom that she had a really nice pup, he was a tough judge, he made me
walk around the ring many times and I was getting tired.Mom was very proud of me.

KC of Freeborn County MN, Albert Lea, MN,
Sunday August 12, 2007

This morning while we were
having breakfast Mom told me that we had a win to get and asked if I was with
her. I told her yep. She groomed me so that I was the most handsome dog at the
show. I performed my best! I got first in my class and then I had to compete
for Winner which I won! At this point I had a 2 point win. I had to compete for
Breed next. Mom told me that this was serious stuff and I had to behave, so I
did. It was a major upset! I beat a big time Special and won Best of Opposite Sex! WOW, WHAT A WIN! You
know, Iím only an 8 month old puppy. I gained another point from it and came
out with a 3 point Major win! Exciting stuff!

KC of Freeborn County MN, Albert Lea, MN,
Saturday August 11, 2007

I was very anxious today and
ready to get my first big win. It didnít happen! I was so anxious that I forgot
to walk right and started doing my hop again. Mom corrected me and then I
performed very well after that. I stacked really nice and walked just right. I
guess the judge didnít think I was the best though; I got second in my class.

Coulee Kennel Club, La Crosse, WI, Sunday
August 5, 2007

I was still upset with Mom
from yesterdayís fiasco and I just knew she was going to loose it for me so I
decided to have fun. I did my jack rabbit hop and I tried to play with the
other dogs in the ring. Well, Mom did great! She listened to the judge and
tried to pull me out of my attitude. I guess next time we have to be a better
team and I have to obey Mom and pay attention. I got second place in my class.

Coulee Kennel Club, La Crosse, WI, Saturday
August 4, 2007

I had my first real show
today. Even though I was really nervous, things went really good on my part of
the team anyway. I didnít play hide and seek even though I wanted to, I stacked
beautifully, and walked like a Havanese should walk. Mom was the problem! She
did not pay attention to the judge and I think that really hurt my chances of
winning. I got second place in my class.

Mom allowed me to participate
in the fun match today at the Linn County Fair hosted by the
CRKA.And guess what, THE SEVENS WERE
GOOD TO ME!!! I got Best Puppy in Match!!!I had fans cheering for me. When the Judge said ĎToday, the best dog is, the Havaneseí, Mom was
looking for another Havanese in the ring.I knew I was the only Havanese and that I won but, I was just joking with
Mom and acted like I didnít know.When
she realized it was me that won, she got excited. I got a rosette given to me by the very
pretty fair Queen and a canine back pack. Mom wanted me to give the back pack to my cousin Harley who is an 100
pound Black Lab because it would fit him but, I told Mom to save it for me
because I was going to grow into it.

Fargo Moorhead Kennel Club, West Fargo ND, Friday, June 1,
2007

Well this was my first time in the ring and it was
scary, you know Iím just a 6 month old puppy, I was really nervous.I stood really nice on the floor for the
Judge and when we walked around I wanted to go faster so I was doing my jack
rabbit hop.When I got on the table I stood really nice and I
said to myself, ĎThis is just like training.íMan was I surprised.I realized
the Judge wasnít my trainer and it scared me.I allowed him to examine my teeth and face.He started to my back end and oh my, Iím not
going to allow anybody I donít know to touch me there!I hid Ďem!He told me and Mom to leave the ring and something about a DQ, I don't think he was talking about ice cream.Mom wasnít too happy with me, she told me
that it was a good touch, like when my doctor examines me and before I can go
in the ring again I need to be a little older.I donít think my hide and seek game was a good idea.
